About Us

Born in June 2014, Commercial Reporter is an online news service for the UK commercial finance industry, reaching over 3,000 industry individuals every day through our newsletters.

Our readers are a mixture of brokers, financial advisers, lenders and other financial intermediaries from across all sectors of the financial services industry including; commercial finance, bridging and short term lending, asset finance, invoice finance, leasing, and alternative lending.

We know our readers want to form (and often share) their own opinions, so we simply report the news and let them do just that. We're unbiased, in everything from our reporting to the way our Awards programme operates. Our readers are the experts and part of Commercial Reporter's ethos has always been to bring them the facts and nothing else.

We send out weekly digest newsletters to make sure our readers are kept informed of all the latest developments in the industry, and we try and engage in discussion across a range of social media platforms – encouraging friendly debate about the industry is something we think is very important!

As well as covering financial news and comment, Commercial Reporter is also home to a number of independent bloggers from across the industry, all of whom provide unique news content for their specialist area. These include key decision makers for UK brokers, lenders, insurers, and industry bodies.
